Blood group O
Blood group O. Computer artwork of red blood cells (erythrocytes) in the shape of the letter O. This represents blood group O. There are four blood groups, A, B, AB and O, each determined by the presence or absence of carbohydrate molecules (antigens) on the surface of red blood cells. There are two types of blood group antigen; A and B. The lack of any antigen gives blood group O. If an incompatible blood type is given during a transfusion it can cause fatal immune reactions

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of blood group O, depicted through computer artwork. The image features red blood cells (erythrocytes) artfully arranged in the shape of the letter "O" symbolizing this particular blood group. In the realm of biology and medicine, there exist four distinct blood groups: A, B, AB, and O. These classifications are determined by the presence or absence of carbohydrate molecules known as antigens on the surface of red blood cells. Within these groups, two types of antigens prevail: A and B. However, it is precisely the lack of any antigen that characterizes individuals with blood group O. This illustration serves as a visual representation to aid in understanding this complex system. The significance behind identifying one's specific blood type lies in its implications for transfusions. If an incompatible blood type is mistakenly administered during a transfusion procedure, it can trigger potentially fatal immune reactions within the recipient's body. With its amalgamation of clinical precision and artistic flair, this medical-themed computer artwork provides insight into haematology and highlights how crucial accurate identification and testing are within hospital settings. Produced by Science Photo Library - a renowned source for scientific imagery - this print offers both educational value and aesthetic appeal while shedding light on an essential aspect of human health care.
